How to create chase reports

When setting up and running a productions a lot of calls or emails can go back and forth with crew in order to pencil, confirm and check rates and then throughout the production itself. Often time we will need to report these to other members of the team and this is called a chase report.

Wether you jot these down in a notepad, on post-it notes or in a spreadsheet it’s always a faf to collate and send these reports.

Luckily now you can do this easily through CallShoot with a simple click of a button.

Simply click on any crew member and then on “add activity” and you type what was said or agreed. The entry will be date and time stamped and you will have a complete log of all interactions with the crew member.

Document templates

Most of our document templates can pretty much be used straight out of the box by simply adding the company and production title where indicated. Some documents will need a bit more work to adapt to your shoot requirements.

Extended NDA

An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) would normally be the first document you get crew and vendors to sign if your production has any sensitive aspect to it.

Crew Release Form

The crew release is a simple form to be signed by all crew where a formal contract has not been drawn up.

Contributor Release

A contributor release grants you the right to use footage of anyone who appears featured on camera. This form can be given to, for example, an interviewee, an actor or a performer whether their participation is for a fee or not.

Location Agreement

When filming on location you will need to put this agreement in place.

Audience Disclaimer

When filming at an event you will need to let the audience know they may be caught on camera whether these have paid or not to be there

Public Filming Notice

When filming at a location that is open to the public you will need to notify any attendees that there is potential for them to be caught on camera

Accident Report Form

Log the nature of an accident as well as the events that led to it and the action carried out as a result.
